This STEM activity kit is perfect for kids that love STEM and crafts. Kids can build driven kinetic “bots” using LEGO bricks and paper crafts. These STEM projects make learning about kinetic elements and mechanical engineering very fun! 😎
What is LEGO Gear Bots?
Build S.T.E.M.-driven models, such as DJ Bubbles (an octopus spinning records), a pterodactyl, a yeti, and much more! Kinetic sculptures, or automata, are mechanically engineering toys that move when you crank the handle on the side. They move through a series of axles, cams, and cranks that work like the pistons in an engine. Each model includes a papercraft character that you fold and link with LEGO elements.
Build 8 physics-driven kinetic creatures using LEGO Technic bricks and papercraft.
Includes every LEGO element you need!
S.T.E.M. content about axles, cams, cranks, engineering in everyday machines is included.
